Anuradha Nakshatra

Anuradha Nakshatra meaning & nature

Anuradha is ruled by Saturn and presided over by Mitra, the god of friendship and alliance. Its symbol, the lotus, reveals its gift: the ability to blossom in any conditions and to draw people together through devotion and warmth. Anuradha natives are loyal, friendly, devoted and organised, gifted at cooperation and at succeeding through relationships — often far from home.

Saturn’s discipline softened by Mitra’s friendship in intense Scorpio gives Anuradha both depth and warmth, ambition and loyalty. At its best it is devoted, harmonious and successful; at its shadow it can be over-dependent on others or prone to hidden loneliness. Anuradha blooms wherever it is planted, through the power of friendship.

Symbol: A lotus flower. Deity: Mitra (god of friendship). Gana: Deva (divine). Nature: Mridu — soft & gentle.
